not sure what is up but while I am not getting as MUCH sleep as I want, the sleep I AM getting is better. Plus I am getting at least 6 hours, and considering I used to think that getting 5 was good, this is a VERY good thing.
picked up some crochet again. a friend who is expecting twins to come into his life sooner rather than later is the perfect excuse to create a couple blankets - AND I have lots of yarn in one of the colors that is being used so I can clean out some of my stash (which will make the hubby happy)
got a crazy idea last night for dinner. we had some of TJs green curry simmer sauce that needed using (and well hell, it makes like SO much easier) but instead of rice as a side, I made coconut quinoa (as a take on coconut rice).
it was freaking awesome. and the slight sweet note from the coconut milk was the perfect compliment to the slight heat of the sauce. Plus, the leftover quinoa when heated up, tossed with some toasted nuts (coconut and almond) and dried fruit and splashed with a bit of coconut milk made for a very tasty and comforting breakfast.
for something completely different: a couple months ago, my SiL and I were walking along, and a guy, in a jaunty pork pie hat, stopped us and paid me a very nice compliment telling me I was beautiful. it was lovely, and I thanked him and we went on our way. I have seen him around a bit and he waved and complimented me again. then a couple weeks ago he stopped me while I was walking to the Alameda wine festival and said hello asked for my number so that we could 'hang out'. now my number is a precious thing and so I offered instead my email (plus, I HATE talking on the phone actually - I blame my years as a CSR and collections person). he grudgingly accepted. I sent him a note immediately as we live in the future (and the fact that I am a flake and would forget said email if I didn't do that immediately) and he responded with the request a couple days later to 'let's hang out'.
now to be honest, I was not quite sure of his intentions and while I occasionally like to flirt, it is fairly clear that I am a happily married woman. (there is this ring on my finger after all, plus I don't believe I was actively flirty with him) so I emailed him back asking him what exactly he was looking for? I was all about creating and developing new friendships, but if he was looking more that, well I hope that I didn't lead him on and I would still like to grab a cup of coffee of a drink sometime to 'hang out'
crickets
ahhh well...a response would have been nice, but what can you do...
